The Ct+ Programming Language [Stroustrup 1986] describes Cr+ as defrned and implemented in August 1985. This paper describes the growth of the language since then and clarifies a few points in the defrnition. It is emphasized that these language modifications are extensions; Cr+ has been and will remain a stable language suitable for long term software development. The main new featurei of Cr-+ are: multiple inheritance, type-safe linkage, better resolution of overloaded functions, recuriive definition of assignment and initialization, better facilities for user-defrned memory management, abstract classes, static member functions, const member functions, protected members, overloading of operator ->, and pointers to members. These features are provided in the 2.0 release of Cr+. This paper is a revised and expanded version of a paper with a similar title. prer.iið¿ "t the USENIX C++ Workshop in Sanla Fe, New Mexico, November 1987. @ Computing Systems,Vol. 2'No. 3'Summer 1989 191
